Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Pirouette:
I crocheted a lacy sweater with a cowl neck with this yarn. the finished product was light and airy and delighted its recipient. I expected the mohair to make the yarn difficult to work with as past experience with fuzzy yarns has never been good, but I had no problems with that. It was a little more difficult than usual to pull out mistakes. After the first sweater I came back and bought more of this yarn for other projects. I really enjoyed working with it and the results were great

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Pirouette:
Used this for a lacework shawl, combined with another yarn. Added great softness, but does tend to shed a bit.
Service and delivery comments:
This time it took for my order to actually be shipped was incredibly slow. I don't think I will order from Webs again unless I know I won't need the product for a couple of weeks.
The packaging was good, and the product was just what I ordered, just the timing was not good.
Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Pirouette:
Using the yarn, double strand for lace shawl pattern I purchased, Whispering Wings, and it's gorgeous!!!! Very strong for such a thin yarn, but I am using a double strand.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Pirouette:
Incredibly soft yarn knits up into soft sweater. Fuzz from yarn tends to shed, and the yarn slips off the needles too easily. Might be better with wooden needles. The pros outweigh the cons because it is so beautiful.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Pirouette:
I made a loose fit top with each one strand of Pirouette and Regia Lace.(2 balls regia lace, 5.5 balls Pirouette, 4mm knitting needles, size medium top) The fabric has elegant drape with subtle colour changing comes from Reia Lace. It is light, pleantly warm and at the same time not bulky at all. Most of all the fabric is soft enough next to my skin.(like everybode else, I can not stand the itchiness of some mohairs)
One thing bothered me is that Pirouettet was easily entangled itself.(It was manageabe, though)
Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Pirouette:
I used as a carry along yarn to add texture and bulk to a cotton tape yarn that was refusing to look good on big needles. More interesting and more cost effective to add the mohair rather than double up on the other fiber.
Note: Piruette seemed to have a little was less fuzz/halo than Debbie Bliss Angel, but this was desirable with my tape yarn combination and I was very happy with it.
Pros
- Beautiful colors
- Soft easy to work with
